There is a good discussion of the basics of digital pseudo-random noise
generators in chapter 9 of "The Art of Electronics," by Horowitz and Hill
(I have the 1st edition, have not checked the new one).

They include a complete schematic for an adjustable bandwidth p-r noise
source, and claim that it is similar to the method used in the Hewlett
Packard 3722A.
